{{Both of people from the couple are famous in Finland and celebrities. If you do a simple google search for example with "Santeri Kannisto" and SOT you will find over thousand links. He used to be the founder and owner of the Finland's most important Linux companies SOT, which was also quite wellknown in the world. Same applies to himself, as he was one of the leading open source advocates. This wikipedia entry is about him and his wife Päivi and explains what happened after they left the rat race, open source community, linux and material world behind. This makes the article intresting and important. I was planning to do the Finnish article but did the English first since I had most of my material in hand in English. Please reconsider saving this article for the sake of those intrested in knowing what happened to Santeri Kannisto and Päivi Rantanen. Thank you for your kind consideration.}}

Kannisto does seem notable enough for a Wikipedia article. Digitoday seems to have covered news about him and CNN has quoted him, but this still looks like a personal website rather than an encyclopedia entry. I suggest renaming too. Prolog 03:43, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Renaming to Santeri Kannisto?

Yes. You can then create a re-direct to this article on Päivi Rantanen. Prolog 04:00, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. Ok now?

The article is much more encyclopedic now, yes. Prolog 04:30, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

"Both of people from the couple are famous in Finland and celebrities." WP:AUTO :) Santeri Kannisto is known as founder of SOT. Otherwise this couple is more or less unknown, at least in Finland. It gives very "Zen"-like picture of them to write a self-advertisement to Wikipedia in four languages. --Tbonefin 04:18, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Mr. Kannisto its not known in Finland and the text about his visa issues is totally rubbish. Please take this out.
